It's sad to see that small #traders choose to compound their entire profits in the greed of making more of it. The market flips, and they lose their entire profit with a portion of their original allocation.
On a $1, if you have made 80 cents, why can't you keep the 80 cents for a flip and continue making another 50-70-90 or 150 cents on the original allocation? You still have 80 cents for a fresh trade, but if the market flips and your $1 becomes 70 cents, you have $1.5 to start over again.
It's not rocket science to understand this, but the need/greed takes over, which is the reason for your loss.
Lastly, when your initial $1 becomes $3 withdraw the $1 to where it came from. So that, if you lose your $2 gains you are able to start over again.
